Police who smelled the odor of burning marijuana Friday night while on patrol on School Street arrested a Norwich man on several drug-related charges.

Patrol officers investigated and found the odor was coming from an apartment at 89 School St., according to police.

The police made contact with a resident, Joshua B. True, 31, who admitted to smoking marijuana, police said. True turned over a small amount of marijuana to the officers and allowed them to search the apartment for any additional contraband, police said.

Seized were approximately one pound of marijuana, $3,200 in cash, packaging material and other paraphernalia. The officers also seized a rifle and ammunition.

True is facing charges of possession of more than four ounces of marijuana, possession of marijuana with intent to sell, and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was held on a $2,500 bond pending his arraignment April 4 at Norwich Superior Court.
